Sounds and Vocal Behavior

Vocalizations

The vocalizations are described by Howell and Webb (1995) as a “shrill krih-krih or kreeih-kreeh, a rolling krreeeih, a deeper kyah’ha and … krra krra”. Several of these vocalizations can be heard in this recording (ML 8426) from Jalisco, Mexico. Forshaw (1989) refers to the vocalization as a harsh, rolling screech.
